Newbie looking for Peterson EZ Focuser Kit Instructions

Hello all,

I was wondering if anyone has a copy of the instructions for the Peterson EZ-Focuser Kit. Also does anyone have the correct Part#'s for the bearings and washer that I can buy at the local bearing supplier?

Thanks



Mods feel free to move this thread, I wasn't sure where to put it.

The instructions are part of his Intellectual property for the kit. Unless you purchased his kit, you might be out of luck.

Alternatively, have a look at this site: http://www.petealbrecht.com/focuser/focuser.htm
He may be able to help you with your LX90.

Great thank you,

Now to get the right part #'s

What I have so far is from here http://jan.eaglecreekobservatory.org/focusermod.html

which are (2 Torrington NTA-815 1/2" thrust bearings and a TRA-815 thrust washer) but think these might be American part numbers and would like to confirm are these the same part numbers that I can buy here in locally.

Cheers

these are listed at local bearing supplies.
Bayswater Bearings have them. NTA-815 are $2.15 each + tax and the TRA-815 is $9.12 + tax

Hi Mick no problem,

Thanks for confirming the part numbers, I don't think it could hurt to have to many instructions, if you could send to the email in my first PM if you still have it. Or PM me .

Thanks
